In Germany September 2,- 1931 2 Claims.

Our invention relates to a record card-controlled business machine and,more particularly, to a total punching equipment for card-controlledtabulating machines.

An object of our invention is the provision of a tabulating machineadapted to analyze cards sorted in groups and to automatically registerthe total of each group by printing and perforating operations. Furtherobjects are to provide automatic card feeding means feeding pre-sortedpunched cards to be analyzed through the tabulator and feeding blankcards through the total punching mechanism of the tabulator in thesuccession of the groups of punched cards; to provide a total punchingattachment adapted to be applied to existing tabulating machines withoutthe necessity of materially modifying the construction thereof, toprovide amount-storing means adapted to be set by the total-representingelements of a tabulating machine and to control a card punch; to providea card punching device having a full complement of punches with amultiple translator which is adapted to be set under control of thetabulating machine to cause one or more totals computed in certaintabulator units to be recorded in any desired card field by perforationof blank cards fed to the punching device under control by the totallingmechanism of the tabulator.

Further objects of our invention will appear from the description of apreferred embodiment of our invention following hereinafter and'thefeatures of novelty will be pointed out in the claims. I

In' the drawings the invention is illustrated as applied to the Powerstabulator which is disclosed in numerous patents, for instance inPatents No. 1,245,502, No. 1,376,555 and No. 1,388,271.

' It is to be understood, however, that our inven-v tion is alsoapplicable to other types of tabulating machines. In the drawings Fig. 1is a partial vertical section through a Powers tabulator and theamount-storing-means forming part of our improved total punchingequipment, the sectionbeing taken along line AB of Fig. 2,

aft through the total punching attachment including the storing means,the selector slides cooperating therewith, the multiple translator, thepunching means and the total card feeding mechamsm,

. Fig. 8 is a side view of the multiple translator.

In the drawings we have illustrated so much only of the Powers tabulatoras is necessary for an understanding of the invention.

First, an explanation of the principal elements 10 of the Powerstabulator will be given to facilitate the understanding of the improvedpunching attachment cooperating therewith.

Each of the type sectors 2 of the tabulator is pivotally carried by ashaft l mounted in the frame of the machine and carries the numeraltypes 4 adapted to be imprinted on a record sheet placed on the paperplaten 3 The sector 2 is provided with a rearward extension 5 forming ahook to which a spring I is attached.- The other end of spring 1 isanchored to .a toothed actuating sector 8 and tends to relativelydisplace the sectors 2 and 8 so as to keep a pin 9 projecting from thesector 8 against the end wall of a slot l0 provided in the sector 2. Theteeth H of the actuating sector 8 cooperate with a totalizer wheel IL inthe conventional manner. The actuator wheel has a ten-carrying tooth l3which cooperates with a lug ll of a ten-carrying lever. During totallingcycles the lug it constitutes a stop which limits the resetting turn ofthe totalizer wheel I! and thus determines the position of the sectors 2and 8 in accordance with the digit which was represented by thetotalizer wheel. The actuat ing sector 8 base. heel l5 adapted duringaccumulating cycles to cooperate with one of a number of sector stops 18which is selected and lifted by the sensing mechanism. One only of thesector stops I6 is shown in the drawings.

A type sector 2, an actuating sector 8, a totalizer wheel l2 and aten-carrying lever having lug l4 constitute a denominational unit of thecomputing mechanism of the Powers tabulator. The entire computingmechanism may comprise I0 denominational units arranged in groups eachgroup comprising from eight to thirteen units which are cooperativelyconnected by the tencarrying mechanism. Such a group will be termed atabulating unit hereinafter.

An oscillating shaft I I which is journalled in the frame of the machineindicated at '18 carriesas many sectors l9 as tabulating units areprovided. Each of the sectors I8 is freely piv otally mounted on shaftll, but is resiliently connected by pin, slot and spring with an armattached to shaft H. A link 2| is pivoted on a stud 20 projecting fromsector I9 and extends upwardly and rearwardly to a lever 25 and islinked to the latter by a pivot 22. The lever 24 is pivoted on ahorizontal shaft 23 and its lower end is provided with a curved cam slot25 embracing a roller 26 mounted on one of a pair of levers 21. Thelevers 21 are pivotally mounted on shaft I and carry a universalrestoring bar 28 extending '11 front of the vertical arms of sectors 2of the tabulating unit under consideration.

During any cycle of'operation the sector i9 oscillates and imparts aforward and upward toand-fro movement to the restoring bar 28 therebypermitting the sectors to advance in the direction of the arrow and thenpositively restoring the sectors to initial position. Each sector 2tends to follow the universal bar 28 on its forward stroke owing to theaction of a spring 29 exerting a downward pull on the end of arm 6attached to the projections 5. The springs 29 are anchored at suitablepoints of the machine frame. The forward movement of the sector islimited during tabulating cycles by a card-controlled stop l6 and duringtotalling cycles owing to the stoppage of the totalizer wheel in itszero position.

The shaft indicated at 35 is a contnuously rotating main shaft in thetabulator head from which the rocking motion of shaft I1 is derived.

It is believed that the foregoing description of the principal elementsof the Powers tabulator will suffice for the purpose of describing ourinvention. For a more detailed disclosure, particularly of the means forfeeding the punched cards to and from the sensing mechanism controllingthe sector stops l6, reference may be had to the patents above referredto.

For the purpose of transferring items or totals set up in the tabulatingunits to a recording device, particularly a card punch, we have providedthe attachment described hereinafter.

We have attached a gear 36 to shaft 35 and have added the mechanismillustrated in Fig. 1 above shaft 35. This mechanism comprises a shaft31 mounted in the machine frame on which a gear 38 is freely rotatablyarranged to mesh with gear 35 and to be permanently driven thereby inthe direction of the arrow in Fig. 1. A'suitable one-revolution-clutchof any desired type, such as that shown in Patent No. 1,810,317,issuedto W. W. Lasker on June 16, 1931, and which need not beillustrated. in detail, is so arranged as to connect gear 38- to aneccentric 39 attached to shaft 31. The one-revolution-clutch including adisc 40 will be engaged by withdrawal of a latch 43 from a lug 50 ofdisc 40. The latch 43 is mounted on a stud 42 projecting from the lower,end of a two-armed lever 4| depending from a stud 45 fixed to a bracket46 which is mounted on a transverse bar 41 of the machine frame la. Thelatch 43 is guided in a grooved block 44 suitably supported by a spring.A spring 48 attached to the bracket 45 and to lever 4| tends to keeplever 4| against an abutment 49 and to draw latch 43 into engagementwith lug 5| whereby the one-revolution-clutch is normally kept indisengaged condition in which the eccentric 39 is at rest. Lever 4| maybe operated from various elements of the tabulatordepending on thenature of the amount to be registered by the card punch. If totals areto be registered, lever 4| is operated from one or the other or bothtotal shafts of the tabulator. The total shaft of 2. Powers tabulator isshown in Fig. 1 of .U. .8. Patent No. 1,926,203, issued to W. W. Laskeron September 12, 1933. This shaft is designated by the numeral 35. Anarm on this total shaft is connected by a linkage to the end of lever llso that operation of the total shaft releases clutch disc 49. It isbelieved that the means connecting lever 4| with the total shaft ortotal shafts need not be described in detail, as it will be understoodthat any time the total shaft is rocked to initiate the totallingoperation, the upper end of lever M will be rocked in the direction ofthe arrow shown in Fig. 1, thereby tripping the one-revolutionclutch 49and imparting a single revolution to the eccentric 39.

The strap of the eccentric 39 is integral with the connecting rod 5|which is linked to the arm 52 of a shaft 55. The shaft 54 extendstransversely across the top of the tabulator and is mounted in brackets55 suitably attached to the frame I8.

Shaft 54 carries as many pairs of arms 56 as tabulating units areprovided, each pair of arms 56 being coordinated to one tabulating unit.The arms'55 of each pair which are splined to shaft 54 are connected byparallel rods 51 and 5| to constitute a rigid rocking frame which isrocked by the eccentric 39 once at any totalling cycle. Between the twocheek plates 55 of each rocking frame, there are loosely mounted onshaft 54 as many storing sectors 58 as corresponds to the denominationalcapacity of the coordinated tabulating unit. Each storing sector mayassume any one of ten differential positions relative to the rockingframe 56, 51 and 5| and may be arrested in this position by a pawl 60pivotally mounted on rod GI and cooperating with ratchet teeth 59provided on the upper face of the sector. A separate pawl Si! isprovided for each sector 59 and is connected with an extension 55 of thesame by a spring 61 which tends to keep pawl in engagement'with theratchet teeth 59 and to turn sector 58 in clockwise direction relativeto the rocking frame. Rod 51 forms a stop limiting such clockwisemovement. In the path of the upwardly projecting arms of pawls 69 thereis interposed a transverse stop bar 62 carried by suitable extensions offrame l8. When the rocking frame 56, 51 and 6| assumes its left, orrearward, end position as shown in Fig. 5, all of the pawls 60 are helddisengaged thereby permitting the storing sectors 58, 66 to swing toengagement with the rod 51. Each storing element includes the steppedextension plate 66 detachably secured to the sector 56 and a dependingsensing pin 64 pivoted to a forwardly. projecting arm of the sector. Thelower ends of the sensing pins 84 are guided for vertical movementwithin'a suitable comb 65 extending between brackets 55 and arepositioned directly above the rearward extensions. 6 of the type sectors2. The rearward lower face of the plate 56 is formed with'ten stepswhich correspond to the digits to be trans- 1 the beginning of atotalling cycle. The totalizer wheel I2 is in engagement with the teethH of the actuating sector 8 which has just started its forward movementand has advanced the type sector 2 one pitch, whereby the zero type hasbeen moved to printing position opposite to the platen 3. At thisinstant lever 4| is operated from the total shaft thereby withdrawinglatch 43 from the lug 50 of disc lfl and thus engaging theonerevolution-clutch which connects the eccentric 39 with thecontinuously revolving gear 38. When the one-revolution-clutch is in itsnormal disengaged condition, it arrests the eccentric 39 shortly beforethe lower dead center position of the same, as will appear from Fig. 1.Therefore, the arm 52 is slightly lowered upon engagement of theone-revolution-clutch and rocks the frames 56, 5'! and 6| through asmall angle in anti- 1 clockwise direction. This rocking motion forcesthe pawls 60 against the stop bar 62 whereby the pawls 60 are disengagedfrom the ratchet teeth 59 and permit the sectors 58 to move into thepositionv illustrated in Fig. 5 in which they abut against/rod 51. Inthis manner the storing sectors arecleared of the amounts set up in thepreceding totalling cycle.

Further rotation of shaft 35 causes sector E9 to continue its turn inclockwise direction until it arrives in its forward end positionillustrated in Fig. 3. At the same time link 25 has moved arms 27! totheir forward end position in which the universal restoring bar 28 hasfully released the sectors. All of the type sectors 2 and the actuatingsectors 8 connected to-the same by springs 71 have so far advanced underaction of springs 29 as to turn the meshing totalizer wheels 02 to zeroposition in which the tencarrying teeth 03 engage the lugs B8 of thetencarrying pawls. In this manner the type sectors 2 are diiferentiallyset to permit the total line including totals of accumulated items insome tabulating units and designating numbers in other tabulating units,as described for instance in the patent to Lasker No. 1,388,271. a

The matter printed in the total line including totals and designatingnumbersis now set up in the storing elements and preserved for latertransfer to the total punching device. After the storing elements havebeen cleared at the beginning of the totaling cycle, the continuedrevolution of eccentric 35 imparts a clockwise turn to the rocking frame54, 56, Stand the sectors 58 tend to follow this turn under action ofsprings Bl until they are arrested by engagement of the sensing pins 64with the extensions 5 of the type sectors 2. After the sectors 58 havebeen thus arrested in differential positions, each rocking framecontinues its, clockwise turn stretching springs 61 and carrying pawls60 with it which ride over the teeth 59 'of the arrested sectors 58, asillustrated in Fig. 3. After the eccentric has passed through its upperdead center position, the rocking frame returns in anti-clockwisedirection carrying the sectors 58, which are kept by the pawls 6|] indifferentially set positions as shown in Fig. 4 with it.

I Considering one of the storing sectors 58 it will be appreciated thatshortly after the beginning of the totaling cycle it bears against rod51 under action of spring 57, while the pawl 60 engages the teeth 59.Assuming that the coordinated type sector 2 be set to print the digit 5the storing sector 58 will be arrested by engagement of its sensing pin64 with the extension 6 afterthe rocking .frame has performed half ofits stroke. The rocking frame, however, continues its turn and carriespawl 60 along until pawl 60 has engaged the fifth tooth 59, as shown inFig. 3. The angle embraced by the teeth 59 and the angle of movement ofthe rocking frame correspond to the path storing bar 28 restores thetype sectors 2 of the tabulating machine and the rocking frames 56 turnthe storing sectors 58 and the-stepped plate 65 connected thereto to theposition shown in Fig. 4. When the type sectors have been restored, the

stepped plates 66 arrive in position to cooperate with the sector slides68. After their arrival in this position, the one-revolution-clutch isautomatically disengaged and the step of each plate 66 which correspondsto the digit set up by the associated type carrier remains in thehorizontal path of movement of the associated selector slide H11,whereas the type carrier itself is restored. .The storing elements willnot be vcleareduntil the next subsequent totaling cycle commences.Hence, the resumption of tabulating operation after the total printingcycle need not be delayed on account of the total punching operation.

The ratio of transmission of the gears Birand 38 is so chosen that thegear 38 imparts such a speed to the eccentric 39 as to withdraw thesensing pins 555 faster than the type sectors 2 are restored. In thismanner time is saved for setting the punching or other registeringdevice and the.

proper adjustment of the storing means relative to the type sectors isfacilitated.

It will be appreciated that the one-revolutionclutch may be tripped atother times than during totaling cycles, for instance during sometabulating cycles, if it is desired to transfer items set up in thetabulator under card control to the registering device.

If it is desired to record the complement of a number set up in atabulating unit, we substitute complementary stepped plates 55 as shownin Fig. 6 for those normally employed. The plate 66' differs from plate66 in that it presents its outermost O-step, instead of the innermost9-step to the punch selecting slide I01 when assuming its normalposition within its rocking frame. The complementary plate 55' used inthe units denominations may be so profiled as to transmit a trueten-complement as will be readily understood by anyone skilled in theart.

While theshaft 54 carrying 'the storing means and the shaft 31 carryingthe driving eccentrics therefor are mounted within-suitable extensionsof the frame of the tabulator, the punching mech-.- anism including thepunch selectors, the multiple translator, the punches and the cardfeeding means is mounted in a separate frame which is preferably guided.by suitable rollers on rails attached to the same base plate on whichthe tabulating machine rests. The rollers running on the rails of thebase plate are preferably carried by eccentrics which may be turned bythe operator so as to suitably adjust the punching mechanism to properposition relative to the tabulating machine.

The upper part of the frame comprises two castings I0! which aresuitably connected by a number of transverse bars or rods which supportand guide the various elements to be described hereinafter. Within thisframe the horizontal selector slides llll are suitably guided to be1ongitudinally shiftable, one such slide being provided for each steppedsector 66 and being positioned within the vertical plane of said sector.

For transferring the amounts set up in the storing elements to thepunching mechanism,

' each selector slide I0! is caused to move to the left with referenceto Fig. 7,until it engages the opposed step of the coordinated plate 66.end, a universal bar I04 extending transversely of and below theselector slides I0! is guided to be movable parallel to itself. The endsof the universal bar I00 are guided between horizontal rails I64attached by screws to the castings II. The universal bar I04 isreciprocated by suitable means to be described later. A comb I00attached to bar I04 forms hooks I38 wherefrom springs I37 are stretchedto the rearward ends of the slides I07, each spring tending to pull itsassociated slide towards the left with reference to Fig. 7, when theuniversal bar I00 releases the slides by movement toward the left.During such movement the selector slides I0'I will be arrested indifferential positions by, the stepped plates 66, as will be readilyunderstood.

The universal bar I04 is reciprocated by three arms I43 which aresplined to a common shaft M5. Oneof these arms is formed by a bell-crankcarrying a cam roller which engages a cam groove provided in a cam I49.The cam I49 is attached to a shaft I46 which is mounted in the frame WIand is driven through the intermediary of a pair of bevel gears by asubstantially vertical shaft I5I which, in its turn, is cooperativelyconnected to the main drive shaft I8I' by another pair of bevel gearsI53, I54. The cam I 49 is so designed that a revolution of shaft I8I'will cause the universal bar I04 to move quickly towards the left and topause in its left end position for about half the period of revolutionof shaft NH and then to quickly return to its initial position.

Each selector slide I01 carries a heel I13 which normally rests againstthe universal bar I40 under action of spring I31, and carries also ahead H2 in which an interponent III is guided for vertical movement. Thereduced lower end of this interponent terminates just above the multipletranslator which is interchangeably inserted between the castings IN.The upper end of the interponent carries a roller I09 which is kept incontact with the lower face of a vertically reciprocating plate I03 by arail which is attached to plate I03 in spaced relation and supportsroller I09 from below. The plate I03 extends horizontally andtransversely across the selector slides I01 and itsends are formedintegral with sleeves guided on vertical rods I21. The rods I2! aremounted in suitable bosses of the castings IOI. During the interval inwhich the universal bar I00 remains in its left end position after theselector slides I07 have been differentially set, the plate I03 islowered and lifted. In its downward movement it depresses theinterponents III which, ilf. their turn, depress the selected connectingwires which are guided in the multiple translator for verticaldisplacement.

The following means are provided for moving plate I03 up and down. Ashaft I28 is journalled in brackets attached to plate I03 and carriespinions I29 meshing with rack teeth out in the rods I21. Hence, a turnof shaft I20 will displace plate I03 parallel to itself. The shaft I20has an arm which is connected by a link I32 with one arm of a bell-crankI33 pivotally mounted on a stud projecting from the castings I01. The

other arm of bell-crank I33 carries a cam roller To this zontal guiding'rails I8I I35 engaging a suitable groove of a cam disc I35 which issplined to shaft I06.

The multiple translator is of substantially the same construction asthat ordinarily employed in the Powers tabulator and comprises aboxshaped frame in which connecting wires are guided for verticaldisplacement. These wires may extend from the plane of movement of anyslide I01 to any denominational row of punch setting pins I90. Themultiple translator has been but slightly modified for the purpose ofour invention. Plates I82 are attached to the end walls of thetranslator box near the topv thereof and are provided with twoprojecting upper studs I83 and two lower studs I84 as shown in Fig. 8.Horiare attached to the inner faces of the castings IOI. These guidingrails serve to facilitate .the insertion of the multhe translator box isprovided with a hole I05 adapted to be engaged by a stud I79 projectingupwardly from the frameIBS of the basket containing the punch settingpins I 90, when the translator box, pushed forward along the rails I8I,arrives in its proper position. In this manner, the accurate position ofthe multiple translator relative to the other elements of the device issecured without interference with the easy removal or replacement of themultiple translator.

The punching means positioned below and adapted to be set up by themultiple translator are identical in construction and operation withthose employed in the perforating machine which is in common use andknown on the market as the Powers key punch disclosed for instance in U.S. Patents No. 1,307,682, No. 1,684,546 and No. 1,311,566. Therefore, adetailed description of the punching device proper and the associatedcard feeding means is deemed-unnecessary. It may be mentioned, however,that whenever shaft I8I' performs one revolution, a reciprocatory cardpicker I8'I feeds the lowest card from the stack of blank cards in themagazine I88 in between two pairs of feed rollers I89 which introducethe card into a card pocket formed by two perforated plates attached tothe frame I92. Subsequently, the frame is lifted to press the cardagainst punches I9I, one punch being provided for each index point inthe card, and those punches, which are keptdepressed by set selectingpins I90, punch holes in the card while the other punches are lifted bythe card. The selectknown in the art and as is shown in Fig. 3 of PatentNo. 1,305,557, issued to James Powers on June 3, 1919. Then the frameI92 is lowered and the punched total card is ejected by a pair ofrollers I93 and deposited in a magazine I04. Frame I02 is lifted andlowered by an eccentric which is suitably operated from shaft I8I'..

Shaft I8I' is operated from a suitable continuously rotating shaft,preferably driven by an electric motor not shown in Fig. 7, through'themedium of a one-revolution-clutch of the type shown in Patent No.1,810,317 which is controlled from the total shaft of the tabulator. Forthis purpose, the total shaft is suitably connected to a slide I51 so asto move the latter towards the right during a totalling cycle. The

slide I51 is guided in an extension of the tabulator frame. Brackets I15attached to. the castings IOI carry a lever I13. The lower end of thislever bears against slide I51 when the total punching attachment hasbeen properly positioned relative to the tabulator, while the upperportion isconnected by link I16 to a bell-crank I18 which operates alink I80. A link I80 extends from the horizontal arm of the bell crankI18 to the horizontal arm of another bell crank I11 (which appears inelevation in Fig. 7) The vertical arm of bell crank I11 is in turnpivotally connected to the tripping lever I95 of the onerevolution-clutch which couples the power source to shaft I8I'. Sincethe clutch is well known and not claimed as our invention the disc andall other parts aside from the tripping lever have been omitted in thedrawings. Thus, it will be seen that whenever the total shaft is turnedto initiate a totalling cycle, the slide I51 will be shifted towards theright and will cause the one-revolution-clutch to be tripped, where bythe above described card feeding and punching operation willbeinitiated.

From the foregoing description it will appear that there is no directconnection provided between the elements mounted on the castings IN. andthe elements carried by the tabulator frame. Therefore, the punchingattachment may be readily removed from the tabulator with: out requiringany disassembly of screws or other connecting elements. I

If gang punching of certain designating numbers or other card holes isdesired, the requisite setting pins I90 may be depressed by hand andlocked in depressed condition by the means oremployed for this purposein the Powers key punch.

While we have described a preferred embodiment of our-invention, it isto be understood that the latter is capable of numerous modificationswithout departing from the spirit of the invention.

What we claim is:

1. In a combined punch and tabulator, in combination, storing meansmounted on the tabulator settable in .accordance with the position ofthe recording elements of the tabulator, means to set the said storingmeans after each total recording cycle of the tabulator, means to retainsaid storing means in position between successive' total recordingcycles, punching means separately mounted but arranged to abut saidtabulator, said punching means having punch selecting members settablein accordance with the setting of said storing means to read the settingof said means and to control punches to punch a card in accordance withthe reading during the interval between successive total recordingcycles of the tabulator.
